Hey there, I’m Nha (🗣️ "N-eye").

I architect solutions to human challenges through deliberate design, crafting products, services, and systems that reconcile intention with utility.


My immigrant parents' language barriers transformed ordinary tasks into complex puzzles - from understanding homework instructions to filling out government forms or explaining ailments to doctors. These daily struggles cultivated my deep sensitivity to how thoughtless design creates barriers, while intentional design can illuminate pathways.


In my current practice as a product designer, I like to explore approaches in favor of empirical problem-solving. My methodology synthesizes six years of academic and professional experience, yielding interventions that prioritize efficacy over medium.


I operate on a fundamental principle: exceptional design transcends categorical boundaries. It manifests wherever a solution aligns seamlessly with human behavior.
